He doesn’t remember. Some private party 3d printed it probably.

I can summarize.

That Mori could be making a slightly xenophobic claim that Westerners are bad at his games was not in my brain’s ball park at the time.

The fact that he said this in a veiled/coy way further exacerbated that.

If you, not joeloves specifically mind you, feel that that thought process was obvious then…

My brother found this for me.

But what happens if we ReTweet er ReKinja?

Palace of the Dead was a grindchorefest at first too.

I hate being a lefty when I see posts like this.

To be fair. One could read it either way.

Thhanks!

I thought Far Cry 5 was coming out March 20?

Right. I agree. Read the thread and you’ll see why I thought this way initially.

Yes. “Poking fun” might have been a more appropriate euphemism.

Good! I think it’s a good opinion too. I can totally see why no mental jump would have to be made here.

The thought that Mori could be making fun of Westerners as not as proficient with controls as Japanese controls was not in my head in the slightest.

So it took me a couple rereads to deciphers that’s what he could…

Hey Ethan,

There’s another wrinkle to the Xbox/Microsoft rewards. You can use your “Bing” points for doing things like searching the web to buy xbox cash. (The terminology is really is not my strong suit for this topic.)

You’re explaining the point I’ve already come to. But I’m not arguing that point. I’m saying the blog isn’t very clear unless you make the mental jump on your own.

My take is that Mori is playing coy with the media so as not to come out and directly call foreigners bad at his game.

I just took issue that it wasn’t…

Right. I agree. Essentially that is what is being said. (essentially being the key word though)

Yea. It’s one of those rare games where you’d wish they could make a movie to expose the plot to the masses. But it wouldn’t really work in a movie because the masses are stupid. (Same with Mass Effect)

See. That’s heavily implied if you stretch as the reader. But the quote is “newcomers,” which doesn’t describe any difference between Japanese and Westerners.
I’m 95% sure that’s what it is, but the flow of the blog entry comes to a halt if you aren’t able to make that stretch as the reader.

SO I’ve read this 3 times now.

You say “Where Mori gets things wrong, however, is the cause of this disparity.”

But you never highlight or even say what his thoughts about the disparity between Japanese and Westerners are. All you say in the article is that he doesn’t think newcomers have an easy time at it. I’m…

For something that small here 579 would be a bit steep. At least on the North or East side of the cities. It might be about right in Edina or Eagan though. And yes, rent is ridiculous these days. I haven’t had to look in 10 years and it shell shocked me in January when I looked again.

That sounds like when my dad got my mother a DVD player for my mom’s birthday in 1998. “I DIDN’T want this. YOU DID!.”
